profile differences for each brand?

Sparkles2303 · 03-12-2008, 03:20 PM

I thought i read somewhere that a moderate profile from mentor was different from a moderate profile from inamed (allergan) implants? But i can't find this anywhere else..

does anyone know more about this or where i could find the answer to this? and which one is bigger??

Yes.. the dimensions vary by brand, and also by whether they are silicone or saline. For instance, Mentor saline implants are more narrow with higher projection for the same amount of cc's in Inamed salines, and then when you look at silicone it's the reverse.. Inamed's are more narrow with more projection. Confusing, huh? lol..

Only way to really research the various specs is to go to their websites and look them up.

Inamed (now called Natrelle):
